User talk:Quail Valley Middle School

February 2010

You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved, as you did at Donald Simmons. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and Wikipedia:Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedia:Wikipedians with articles.) It is also not a good idea to replace existing content, even if you do mean to do so in good faith. The disambiguation page you replaced helps users of wikipedia find the correct version of the multiple similarly named pages. Rich^(Contribs)/_{(Talk to me!)} 00:35, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, Quail Valley Middle School, may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it is the name of an organisation, which is discouraged under Wikipedia:Username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may file for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account and use that for editing. Thank you.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a few moments to create a new account with a username that represents only you. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may ask for a review of this username block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below this message. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 00:53, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
